You made the statement in your post @211 that "I simply said that if you are not paying for something, then you are the product, not the customer". After accepting your statement for the sake of argument only I concluded my post $217 with the questions:
"What difference does it make? Are you in fact implying that Google does not treat you as well as it would a customer? If so, in what ways? What point or points are you trying to make?"
If your post $218 provides answers to the questions I posed then I fail to see them.

Who are you kidding? Amazon and Google ARE good for their customers. They are that good that enough people hate them for being so good. Both having so many customers, the amount of the ones unhappy is huge, but the amount of happy customers is even bigger.

I was telling Duckytigger that he was not the customer.
